This is actually good comedy. "That Lum, you can't trust him anymore. He'll believe anything you tell him." Abner has a classic case of addictive behavior; Lum the co-dependent is intent on fixing him. Next to Vic and Sade, Lum and Abner were the best comedy team on old time radio--too bad they never quite made it in video format. Despite the really bad kinescope quality of this clip, I enjoyed watching it.

Subject: "A Genuine Lost Unseen Classic from TV's Past"
The picture is very dark, in parts, & the sound is quite bad quality, but it needs to be judged as what it is... A TRUE LOST CLASSIC, that has very likely, been seen by very few people over the past 50+ years.

And for this reason, I am giving it a 4 STAR RATING.

THIS IS WHY TELEVISION HISTORY MUST BE PRESERVED!!!!

Please support sites like INTERNET ARCHIVE, TVDAYS.COM, & even YOUTUBE, because without sites like these, all these classic shows would be lost & forgotten forever.

LIVE LONG & PROSPER, WITH TELEVISION!!!!
